Common Questions
How long does braces treatment take?
Most treatment takes 12–24 months depending on how much the teeth need to move. We'll give you a realistic estimate before starting.
Do braces hurt?
There's mild pressure and tenderness for a few days after they're fitted and adjusted, but it settles quickly. It's far less uncomfortable than most people expect.
Am I too old for braces?
You're never too old — adult orthodontics is very common. We'll check your gum health first and recommend the best option.
Why would a child need a removable appliance?
Between about 6 and 12, the jaws are still growing. A simple removable appliance can guide growth early and sometimes prevent the need for braces later.
